and everything you said can be cleaned up with a POA. EVERYTHING. I know this because something quite similar happened to a great friend of mine - he brought out the POA, and VIOLA, all information on his partner went through him.
These are tear jerking talking points that can be resolved without marriage.
They can be resolved for all monogamously committed and in long-term love gay couples by having gay civil unions in all 50 states, with the same rights that straight marriages convey.
